The S 350 d is equipped with first-class Burmester feel-good sound delivered by 13 high-performance speakers and electronic and acoustic components precisely tailored to the interior. The surround function and the sound optimization for the front and rear seats provide an even more intensive listening experience. The S 400 offers the high performance Burmester 3D surround sound system with 24 speakers, nine tweeters integrated in the instrument panels, doors, parcel shelf and roof lining along with the 24 channel amplifier with an output of 1520 watts.

Energising Hot Stone Massage

The S-Class offers a rejuvenating hot stone massage function with six different programmes ranging from relaxing and stimulating to an energizing effect. Occupants can choose from two intensities – low and high, and the seat backrest comes with a massage mat with 14 air chambers which can be inflated or deflated via fast responding solenoid valves, developing a wave-like hot stone massage effect. The massage function can be operated via remote with durations ranging from 12– 15 minutes.
